I was inspired by a 10 year old spread from Peony and Parakeet.

That and washi tape.
Recently when I visited a bookstore I stumbled across some book titles: Wheatbelly. Fruitbelly. 10 different Zentangle books. Green smoothies.… I asked myself what an Alien or Goethe would think about the germans when they would visit a bookstore… all people are happy with drawing Zentangles, but with a very big belly from fruits, wheat or… you can choose.

Defend joy as a trench
defend it from scandal and routine
from misery and miserable
from temporary absences
and from definitive ones.
Defend joy as a principle
defend it from wonder and nightmares
from neutrals and neutrons
from sweet infamies
and serious diagnoses
Defend joy as a flag
defend it from ray and melancholy
from neives and rogues
from rhetoric and cardiac attacs
from endemics and academics
Defend joy as a destination
defend it from fire and firefighters
from suicidal and homicidal
from vacations and burden
from the obligation of being happy.
Defend joy as a certainty
defend it from oxide and dirt
from the famous brushwork of time
from dew and opportunism
from pimps of laughter
Defend joy as a Right
defend it from God and winter
from capital letters and death
from surnames and sorrows
from chance
and from joy itself.
We've been out for a meal. While eating we talked about this and that; immediately Robert asked me, if he would be allowed to ask a personal question. I wondered what would happen now... we know each other for approx. 10 years, and I didn't know if I should laugh loud or if I expected a horror question. I said "Yes, of course", and he asked: "Do you think that I trimmed my beard too short?" After that question I decided to laugh. Very loud.
The finished page...lots and lots of layers:

As usual, the colors on this are much nicer in person. Her eyes are a beautiful iridescent purple (Lumiere), not nearly as light as they appear in this photo.

Some pages from my art journal- blogged about here: www.gingerblue.com/art-journal-pages-late-august-2013/
I hadn't worked in my journal for awhile, and had been in a funk, partly because of the dreary weather. So I decided it was time to work in my journal and do a gratitude list, which I try to do on a regular basis. I felt so much better after wards.
I have a "Call to Action" on my blog about this. I recently started a "Call to Action" which is an exercise I give you to do. Here's the first one.
Because I couldn't pay with Euro in the Post office Swinemünde and I didn't have Złoty a very very nice woman bought a stamp for me! So nice. Thanks to the unknown woman.

it's been a while since I worked in an art journal/ scrapbook. I can't promise anything, but ... it feels like I might be starting again. I so enjoyed it today, I think you can tell.
In seiner Kindheit war Vinzenz Huber für die Bewohner seines Heimatdorfes der Huber Bua. Das brachte ihm in der Schule den Spitznamen "Hubba Bubba" ein und bescherte ihm eine besondere Affinität zu der gleichnamigen Kaugummi-Sorte. So war es nicht verwunderlich, dass er auf die Idee kam, seinen Kühen das Kaugummikauen und Blasen machen beizubringen. Wie er das machte, blieb selbst vor der Presse sein sahniges Geheimnis.
Vinzenz Huber war sich sicher: Damit würden er und seine Kühe beim nächsten Almabtrieb der Publikumsliebling werden!
In his childhood Vinzenz Huber the schoolfellows in his home village called him "Hubba Bubba", like the chewing gum. So he got a special affinity to this sort of chewing gum. No wonder that he teached his cows chewing chewing gum an make bubbles. He was so sure: At the next "Almabtrieb" (bringing cattle down from the mountain pastures) he and his cows would be the darling of the public.

The Federal President of Germany gives his nation a really bad show. Wonder how long he will like his position as a joke figure before he will resign.
